Working/Exhibiting Overseas
2001-Seto, Japan  
We stayed and worked with 4th Generation Master-Potter Yasuo Terada.  We fired work in the 'O-gama' which is part of a huge kiln site at Chukio University that has besides the O-Gama, an Anagama, a 13 chamber Noborigama and a round European domed kiln.  We worked on 12 hour shifts for the firing, stoking every 15 minutes. 

Our work was exhibited at 2 sites, Stage One Gallery in Nagoya and Ginko Kobo in Seto
